Line 6 POD Studio KB37 Keyboard

The POD Studio KB37 combines the stunning sound of POD Farm plug-in with a powerful and versatile USB interface and 37-key MIDI controller. Essential to the success of countless platinum-selling albums, these immortal Line 6 guitar, bass and effects tones are now available for recording guitarists.

In 1998, Line 6 released Amp Farm(r) amp modeling plug-in and forever changed the way guitarists record. Ten years and dozens of groundbreaking creations later, Line 6 continues the recording revolution with POD Farm.

Fully adjustable, each model offers total tweak capability. Also, with hundreds of presets available, classic gear combinations can be chosen to provide timeless tones in an instant.

The Clearest Recordings

Half rock-solid guitar interface, half feature-packed MIDI controller, KB37 is as versatile as it is powerful. It features 37 full-sized velocity-sensitive keys, a pitch bend wheel, octave up/down buttons and a set of software-assignable controls including a mod wheel, sound select next/previous buttons, five transport buttons, four knobs and more. Its comprehensive I/O boasts a 1/4-inch guitar input (normal or pad), two balanced XLR inputs with high-quality mic preamps, phantom power and trim knobs, a 1/4-inch stereo monitor input, two 1/4-inch line inputs, two balanced 1/4-inch line outputs, S/PDIF digital output, a 1/4-inch stereo headphone output with level control and a pair of assignable VU meters for a truly pro recording experience.

Public Service Announcement: Latency Kills

Recording with latency is like driving with your eyes closed. Exclusive to Line 6, ToneDirect monitoring allows you to record and monitor a fully processed tone while virtually eliminating latency and taking all the guesswork out of recording great-sounding tracks.

What's latency? Latency is the delay caused by the time it takes your guitar signal to travel all the way through your hardware interface, through your computer's processor, through your plug-in software, back through your hardware interface and out of your speakers or headphones. This delay is heard in your monitoring signal and makes recording almost impossible. With a POD Studio KB37 interface, latency is something you'll never have to deal with.

Start Recording Right Out of the Box

POD Studio KB37 includes POD Farm plug-in, Ableton(r) Live Lite Line 6 Studio Edition 16-track recording software ideal for guitarists, and award-winning Reason Adapted production software featuring a sought-after sequencer and tons of stunningly lifelike instruments. This collection of studio-standard hardware and software provides instant pro recording, right out of the box.

Sound:
All PODfarm sounds I have tried yet react absolutely natural.
Normally I don't like the concept of digital amp simulations, but what the heck- this works. You can play through your HiFi speakers and it feels like an amp. No latency, good dynamics, response to guitar and picking volume. That's all very natural. Of course you don't get the take-no-prioners-punch from a stack but that's not the intention either. It's graet to play at home and to record. You need tons of euipment, experience and the right room to get a recording result like this with a real amp.
Feature:
good software package:
POD farm with upgrade to POD farm 2 (I guess I like the old one a little better. but you can use both)
Reason adapted is great
Ableton live lite seems to be great - just the lite version but it works for simpler home recordings
RiffWorks is a good tool to capture your ideas hassle-free
Ease of Use:
just perfect, no AC Adpter, the power comes through the USB connection
everything is handy
Quality:
everything feels good. I'm no keyboarder but to mey the 37 keys feel allright. The 4 control knobs appear a little shaky, but I have used it for only 1 week now so I'm not sure if they will give up.
Value:
unbeatable package
The Wow Factor:
the whole Idea of an external USB sound interface combined with the control keyboard and all the inputs is just right.
Overall:
I would definitely replace it if it's gone some day.
Right now there is just no product like this that fits all the needs of an hobby home recorder on a budget and with small space.
